4.0 out of 5 stars An adult in Tennis Shoes, August 14, 2004

My brother and I have been reading the Heimerdinger "Tennis Shoes" series since they first came out in 1989. Even now, as adults, we still enjoy them, and have read the series (through 9) multiple times. This is the first book of the series that comes with notes for each chapter, which adds much to the understanding of the historical nature of the story. This is also the first book in the series that is told from the perspective of several characters. Because of this, the book jumps around much. I imagine that some kids may have difficulty keeping the flow of the novel with so much switching between narrators. As with the other books in the series (#3 and forward), there are multiple story-lines in the book. However, this is the first book that really does not connect the stories, and therefore leaves the book lacking in some respects. Even the next in the series does not connect the stories, so I wait with eager anticipation that #10 will finally wrap them all together. Unlike the trilogy of 5-7, which connected nicely all the way through, this one leaves a group of characters essentially floating in a literary limbo, leaving the reader wondering. Nevertheless, for readers of the series, one must read this one too. "Gadiantons and the Silver Sword (#2)" remains my favorite of the series for suspense, and numbers 3 and 4 remain my favorites for story-line. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars the warriors of cumorah, April 2, 2002

Okay guys you are in for a thrill. Chris has done it again! I give it five stars. Chris takes a little girl, gives her some "magic powers" and wham you have a novel. The book is not just about a little girl its about surviving in a strange and unknown world I have to admit that it does have a bit of romance, not too much to where the book is mushy gushy or any thing. In the book you are never one one subject for more than one chapter which keeps you on your toes and something is always around the corner ready to jump out and suprise you!
